We asked seven Indianapolis students about youth violence. Here's what they had to say.
Marion County Prosecutor’s Office 2023 Youth Violence Prevention Fellows speak out on youth gun violence and solutions, on Thursday, July 27, 2023, in Indianapolis.Deadly violence in Indianapolis has stabilized or gone down in nearly every way this year, except one:Fourteen people, 17 years old or younger, have been killed nearly eight months into the year. In all of 2022, 19 teens and children were killed.
"Youth violence is a big thing, especially with teens around my age: sophomores and juniors. They look up to other people like the seniors. They see what the other seniors are doing, they see other people out of high school and they look up to them and they might want to do the same thing," Smith said."People just getting out of high school set examples for the people that are still in high school.""A lot of us do not know how to properly get out our emotions.
"It’s kind of easy to forget that while violence has gone down, children have still grown up in that violence their entire lives. It’s gonna affect their brain and transcend to their actions as adolescents and teenagers," Duncan said.

Jim Irsay pouring gas on the Colts-Jonathan Taylor situation is the least surprising part of this messWhat's going on in Indianapolis? The Colts appeared to be headed toward the signature problem of the 2023 offseason: figuring out how to handle an elite running back that's close to hitting free agency. The Giants and Raiders spent the summer going back and forth with their star running backs before failing to land on a long-term agreement.
